seems a bit strange. I get that the timeline isn't always linear - obviously the first Captain America movie happened earlier in the timeline than Ironman or other movies that preceded it, and Captain Marvel was set in the 90's. But that's different, since those characters hadn't already been introduced.

In BW's case she's not only been introduced, but already undergone a ton of character development ending with her sacrificing her life for the world/universe. So this feels like a step backwards. Also the MCU has so many characters and stories to develop as they tie into the next major threat, it just feels like a waste to do a film back in time.

All of that being said, maybe this is a good opportunity for Marvel to do something different and unexpected, and I'm sure there's an interesting story to be told.
